The Wisconsin Assembly voted 68 to 22 to retain the 15 cent per pound oleomargarine tax and dealer license fees after a heated debate. Milwaukee lawmakers failed to repeal the levy arguing it is discriminatory, while farmers suggested a color change could ease the tax burden. The session also advanced a bill granting the governor power to reorganize state departments, and discussed voter information statements for candidates. The assembly later killed two conservation bills, and the senate approved 1.65 million dollars for mental hospital plant improvements.
